TALL TREE IN THE EYE
Material: Stainless steelLocation: Ocean Financial Centre Duration: Permanent Collection: Keppel Corporation Dimensions: 8m in height, variable width
This monumental sculpture by acclaimed British artist, Anish Kapoor, comprises of 29 polished stainless steel spheres that appear to float upwards. Measuring 8-metres tall and weighing over 6 tonnes, it is one of a handful of stainless steel works the artist has produced in the past decade. The sculpture resembles a house of mirrors that cheekily distorts reflections of passers-by. It creates a kaleidoscopic effect that also makes the surrounding buildings seemingly “disappear”, giving viewers a sense of fantasy and illusion.
